What is the maximum expandable RAM size and M2 sata ssd size for Acer Aspire A315-53-P4MY?

I am planning to upgrade my laptop with additional RAM. I'm confused whether to opt for 8GB or 16GB RAM. The existing configured RAM size is 4GB-Single Channel. The seller website shows that the maximum expandable RAM size for this laptop is only 12GB. Would like to know from acer experts whether to go for 16GB or 8GB Crucial RAM.

Also it would be great, if you specify the maximum M2 SATA SSD disk size and whether 480GB - WDS480G2G0B M2 SATA SSD is compatible with this laptop?

Model Number: A315-53-P4MY
Part Number:NX.H38SI.010

Processor: Intel Pentium Gold 4417U - 2.3GHz

OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

Mainboard: KBL Metapod_KL V2.02

Bios: Insyde Corp V2.02

Country: India

Thank you very much for going through this post.

Regards

As for SSD, this model has support for M.2 2280 Sata 3 slot SSD up to 256gb tested by Acer.
You will have no problem using capacities up to 512Gb.

I have disassembled my a315 53 p4my. The m.2 slot has only M key, then how it would support sata(has two keys) and not nvme(has one key). Please help me on this, as I'm going to buy new ssd and in need of faster one.
